I'm going to guess I'm not the only person who has been privately receiving ‘#firephil’ messages from Apple folk for the past year. Maybe we should stop being private about it. Not everybody at Apple reflects its revolting conduct, and they are as angry as us about it

@stroughtonsmith Yep.

@stroughtonsmith Every time I hear about Phil Schiller, or have an interaction which is somehow connected to him — like an App Store rejection — I always think that he's Apple's Ballmer. Seems to have the same kind of attitudes, and the same overall net effect for his company.

@stroughtonsmith Do we know if there is a way that an end user can see if they subbed to someone via the app? I haven't been able to find anything, and I'd like to make sure that I'm subbing to folks directly, without forcing them to deal with Apple's BS

@TheJesusFish this change doesn't affect existing subscribers

@stroughtonsmith oh thank goodness

@stroughtonsmith I’ve worked with a number of people that left Apple because of Phil Schiller. He’s been driving out good people for decades.

@stroughtonsmith isn’t Tim CEO?

@stroughtonsmith you’re definitely not the only one 😅
